The Cor-Bon .45 Colt +P 335gr Hard Cast is a 20-round box of heavy-bullet ammunition for dangerous game and bear defense (Cor-Bon part no. HT45C335HC/20). Its solid lead hard cast bullet is made to punch straight through thick hide, dense muscle, and bone, and it keeps almost all of its weight because it does not expand. Cor-Bon says each cartridge uses hand-inspected brass, measured powder charges, and non-corrosive primers. It is a +P load that makes sense for hunters, ranchers, and backcountry travelers carrying a revolver or lever-action rifle rated for the pressure.
